PG - 9944387 LID - 10.1155/2021/9944387 [doi] LID - 9944387 AB - Q fever is a rare zoonotic infection caused by Coxiella burnetii. Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) has an important role in the early control of this infection. However, TNF-alpha blockers increase the risk of infectious diseases. We present herein a patient who developed acute Q fever under anti-TNF-alpha who had a good evolution after anti-TNF stoppage and treatment with doxycycline. CI - Copyright (c) 2021 A. Guiga et al.
